We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Key Date Calendar for Families, marked 'REV 6/2026'. The district's 2026-27 staff School Calendar on the same page is marked 'ADOPTED JANUARY 2026' and shades exactly the same non-school days. Shaded days on the family grid are non-school days for all students (no day is half-shaded), and they match the district's online District-Wide Key Dates calendar. Grades 1-5, 7, 8 and 10-12 start Wednesday, Sept. 9; grades 6 and 9 start Tuesday, Sept. 8; kindergarten transition is Sept. 14-15 and all kindergarten students start Sept. 16. The last day is Thursday, June 17 for grades 6-11 (an early release day for middle schools on the staff calendar) and Wednesday, June 16 for grades K-5; high school graduation is June 9-11 (from the Key Dates list; the district's Graduation Calendar page lists no ceremonies yet). No school for students on the inservice day (Oct. 9), fall conferences (Oct. 28-29), spring conferences (March 18), grading/staff development days (Dec. 11, Feb. 5, March 17, May 7) and the Professional Development/District Directed days Nov. 30 and Jan. 4 (shaded on the grid and marked No School on the staff calendar; the online calendar calls Nov. 30 'No School - Grading Day'). The document does not name the Sept. 7, Nov. 11, Jan. 18, Feb. 15 and May 31 closures; they fall on Labor Day, Veterans Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day and Memorial Day. The staff calendar says Presidents' Day (Feb. 15) may be used as an optional make-up day for an emergency closure that occurs before Winter Break; other days may be added in June to make up for emergency closures. June 18 (district offices closed) falls after the last day of school.
